The ABCs of service virtualization

Service virtualization is software that simulates a service’s behavior in a production environment. With service virtualization, you can keep to your development and testing schedule even when you can’t develop or test the “real” versions of applications, dependent systems, and services. So where do companies typically begin with service virtualization? Knowing the ABCs will help you and your teams plan for the best rate of adoption at your organization. Even if you have thousands of back-end systems and services, you can virtualize all the services and also model the network and application performance. By having the ability to create and use a simulated model of unavailable or constrained services, your testers can lower the time required for test case, test data preparation, API, performance, integration, and complete end-to-end testing.

In this webcast, you will learn how to:
• Get started with service virtualization
• Develop and test faster by virtualizing constrained application components
• Overcome common barriers like services still under development, limited capacity, third-party access, and port restrictions
• Have faster release cycles
• Identify defects earlier when they are cheaper and easier to fix

Between scrum meetings, user stories, and ever-shortening sprints, performance testing can sometimes be swept under the rug. When a massive number of users hit your web or mobile app and it turns out it can’t handle the load, skipping performance testing can turn out to be your biggest regret.

When performance testing is done right, you can detect performance degradation before there’s failure in production, and along with smart analytics and comprehensive performance insights, you can dramatically shorten time spent finding and fixing problems.

Join this web seminar to learn how to overcome common agile performance testing challenges to prepare your web and mobile apps for peak traffic while avoiding regrets.

You’ll also learn:

• Why traditional performance testing practices don’t really work in an agile environment
• Why you need to simulate real-world business flows
• How to quickly test for scale and optimize for peak traffic

Microservice architecture has been adopted by modern software teams as a way to deliver business value faster to address the DevOps goal of maximizing value by reducing cycle time. Container technology enables delivery of microservices into any environment. Docker has accelerated this by providing an easy to use toolset for development teams to build, ship, and run distributed applications. These applications can be composed of hundreds of microservices packaged in Docker containers. These containers are deployed and running on ANY IaaS (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure or on-prem).

In a recent NGINX survey, the “biggest challenge holding back developers” is the trade-off between quality and speed. As Martin Fowler indicates, testing strategies in microservices architecture can be very complex. To address this complexity, we need to test in a real environment with real data – the “continuous delivery” (CD) phase of the lifecycle.

A framework enables developers working in the Docker ecosystem to easily test a complex system of microservices. For developers, it requires no behavior change. Developers gravitate to frameworks to speed up their development. Using frameworks also allows people to share best practices. A framework applied to testing of microservices in containers is a simple abstraction layer. Abstractions make life simpler for Developers building and deploying modern apps.

It’s an open secret that a good mobile user experience is essential to achieving business goals. Delivering an exceptional experience can be a daunting task, from user interface design to development, testing and production release.

HPE Mobile Center, mobile application lifecycle software, helps you test, monitor and optimize your apps on real devices and emulators. Whether you are doing development or testing at the manual, functional, network, security or performance level, this is one session not to miss.

We will share what’s new since the release of Mobile Center 2.0, and take a closer look at selective stages of the mobile application lifecycle such as:

How to run parallel Appium and Selenium tests through coding or continuous integration tools such as Jenkins

The AppPulse Suite is an integrated Application Performance Monitoring solution that automates and accelerates the process by which application teams deliver and adapt user-focused applications. Now application teams can quickly isolate problems that negatively impact the UX and drill down to the root cause—from user actions, to network issues, down to the line of code or specific transaction log. The result: teams can achieve both the speed and quality required to meet user expectations and business objectives - high velocity, high frequency apps with quality.

Whether you are solely responsible for an application in your company, or you support a team that is, its critical to your business that quality, speed, and performance of your apps are never compromised for your users.

As part of our 3 part series, "User Experience isn't Everything, Its the Only Thing", join Antoine Aymer from HPE for "Foundations to Build a Great UX: Build, Monitor, Optimize" to learn how to deliver a great user experience thru:

Companies are increasing their focus on customer experience, but many are destined for mediocre results. What's the problem? A lack of emotion. While new digital and cross-channel experiences are being developed, they aren't tapping into the most powerful component of the experience.

As part of our 3 part series, "User Experience isn't Everything, Its the Only Thing", join Bruce Temkin from the Temkin Group, who will share leading-edge research on why emotion is so important and what it takes to tap build experiences that tap into its power.
